Hickory and Walnut Sewing Box

This is a Hickory and Walnut Sewing Box I made for my Grandfather to give to his special lady. It was made from part of a Hickory tree that fell on his house a while back. It was finished with 3 coats of Tung Oil Varnish.

Yes, its amazing how something beautiful can come out of something that caused so much distruction and disaster… I also created a Hickory Chest and some other projects from this Hickory Tree. Gottal Love the art of woodworking …

Thank you all for your kind words..I truly appreciate it. I am sorry it has taken so long to reply. as I said in an earlier comment on another project.. between facebook, youtube, and google plus.. I hadnt made it back here in a while.. If you would like to see a few little videos on this project how the origional design failed due to the knife hinges and the conclusion which brought it all together..I posted a blog on here with a couple of short videos…
